Enter information in a field

recognizes a common misspelling, it auto-corrects the word. To cancel the
auto-correction, press Backspace .
To accept the information you entered, do one of the following:
• Tap outside the field.
• Press Enter . If a screen contains multiple fields, pressing Enter accepts
the information you just entered and jumps the cursor to the next field.
• When you are done entering information on the screen containing the
field, make the back gesture to accept the information and back out of the
screen.
Select items in a list
Lists enable you to select from a range of options. Lists are different from
menus (see Use the menus), which give you access to additional features.
Lists are hidden until you tap the currently displayed option for that list.
1 Tap the currently displayed option to open the list. For example, when
creating a new event in Calendar, tap No Reminder to display the list
of reminder options.

Save information
• On most screens, your information is saved automatically. Just make the
back gesture to close the screen, and your info is saved at the same time.
• Your info is also saved if you minimize an app screen to a card and throw
the card off the top of the screen to close the app.
• On screens with a Done button, tap Done to save your information.
Use the menus
Most applications have an application menu hidden in the upper-left corner,
which provides access to additional features. There is also a connection
menu hidden in the upper-right corner, which provides access to wireless
services.
To get the most out of your phone, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself
with the additional features available through the menus in various
applications.
TIP The symbols and accented characters are grouped according to their
similarity to the corresponding key. In some cases, the symbol is related to the
alternate character on the key, not the letter. For example, to type a € or other
currency symbol, press Sym + h. Why? Because the alternate character on the H
key is $.
TIP If you press the wrong key, press Backspace to return to the full list of
symbols and accented characters. You can then press another key.
